lyrics

Lay me down in a potter’s field
Plywood casket, my fate is sealed
Let me lie in an unmarked grave
Pray the Lord my soul to save

Her breath was the warmth on the southerly wind
In a storm of rage I have sinned

I buried her down by the water line
Side by side with a friend of mine
I saw their shadows in our bed
Drew my pistol, shot 'em dead
I shot 'em dead

I’m not looking for forgiveness, son
I played my part, the deed is done
I couldn't let my anger go
They took me down near Ohio

I listen to the CO yell
From my six by eight concrete hell

Now every time i close my eyes
I see her face, I hear their cries
on the night i caught them in our bed
Pulled my pistol, blood ran red
The blood ran red

Lay me down in a potter’s field
Plywood casket my fate is sealed
Let me lie in an unmarked grave
Cause I don’t deserve to be saved
